Horizon Multi Energy Car Science Kit
Hands-on renewable energy comparison system
Explore sustainable transportation through direct comparison and hands-on investigation. The Horizon Multi Energy Car Science Kit includes everything students need to experiment with multiple clean energy technologies on a single vehicle platform.
Students measure the superior energy density and power of a supercapacitor, compare different fuel cell technologies—including a direct ethanol fuel cell, saltwater fuel cell, and PEM fuel cell—and see energy conversion in action. A solar panel demonstrates the power of sunlight, while a hand crank lets students generate electricity themselves, connecting energy generation, storage, and motion in one engaging STEM system.
Why Teachers Love the Horizon Multi Energy Car Science Kit
- True side-by-side energy comparisons: One car platform allows students to compare fuel cells, solar power, supercapacitors, batteries, and human-generated electricity using consistent metrics.
- Hands-on and highly engaging: Students actively generate, store, and convert energy—turning sustainability concepts into measurable outcomes.
- Highlights modern energy technologies: Demonstrates real-world systems used in renewable energy and transportation research.
- Data-driven STEM learning: Measure voltage, current, speed, distance, and time to evaluate performance, efficiency, and energy density.
